As part of their month-long #anansipoetryproject, Anansi is published a blog post or interview with each of the three poets on their spring roster.
My short essay, “What Does it Mean to be a Poet in 2018?” Is live now! You can read it HERE.
You can also read my poem, “Death of a Sparrow” online here.
For a look at other essays in the series, take a look at Anansi’s blog.
